House in a Park / Modersohn & Freiesleben Architekten Partnerschaft

On a park-like plot in Pankow, a northern district in Berlin, between listed turn-of-the-century villas, a sober and functional extension from the 1990s and large old trees that have accompanied the history of this historic site, there is an ideal location for another new dormitory run by SKF Berlin e.V. (transl.: Non-Profit Social Service of Catholic Women). Four storeys, crowned by a cantilevered roof whose wooden rafters remain visible on the outside, a solid green plastered base and a wooden superstructure will be the new home for up to 32 residents with mental and physical disabilities. Self-determined living, supervised and assisted if necessary, each resident has their own room and bathroom, and two of these units share a kitchen and living room with a private balcony. The additional need for special rooms is regulated in the German Participatory Living Act: Snoezel room, communal room with kitchen, care bathrooms, administration area and a wide range of ancillary rooms, all of which are distributed across the residential floors.

Maximilians Quarter / Modersohn & Freiesleben Architekten Partnerschaft

Four apartment buildings in the Maximilians-Quartier of Wilmersdorf “To dwell means to stay,” the philosopher says. Human beings construct dwellings for themselves, to “settle down” and settle into their living space, to stay – a primitive instinct. This is how individual worlds develop – and a sense of one’s home, a term which comes from earlier times.

House W / Modersohn & Freiesleben Architekten Parnerschaft

It's a big task: a young family returns to the village of their grandparents, where their new home is to be built. He takes over the country doctor's practice, she sets up a practice for supervision and coaching, and the two small children go to school in the neighboring village. Netra lies idyllically, almost lonely, in the countryside. Hills with castles and hiking trails along the former inner-German border make the surroundings attractive. The village itself has a former moated castle, a striking crowned stone church, and gabled houses. If you approach the village from the outside, a red roofscape characterizes the village ensemble. People know each other here and help each other, and help is often needed.
